Chapter 497
With a frown on her face, Natalia turned to face her brother. What was it that he desired that made him to assist the family, such as the Leightons? It was not unfamiliar how these people were. They were notorious and vicious people who could only cause harm to others. So why did he help them in the first place?
She noticed that he was looking in a certain direction. Before her eyes could follow his gaze, Hazel got up from the couch.
"Excuse me. I am coming back in a few minutes," she said in a low tone.
After that, Hazel walked past everyone.
Natalia followed her movements until she left the living room. When she noticed that Hazel was sweating as if she had been startled, she was perplexed.
Wasn't her family there for her to set up things for herself? Then why did she look so afraid?
Natalia suspected that Hazel had begun to behave strangely since her family arrived.
But why?
As other people resumed their conversations, the living room started to emit a reverberation of voices.
After a while, Jason asked her for the washroom. Natalia wanted to take him there. However, Jason instructed her that he could go there by himself and that she should remain in the living room in order to listen to what the Leightons had to say to the Millers.noveldrama
On the other hand,
Hazel came to the washroom after leaving the living room. She rinsed her face with cold water for a while until she felt numb on her face.
She looked at the mirror to see her face. Her eyes were red, and she had a sullen mood.
She put a towel over her face and wiped it. She did not leave the washroom as if something was going on in her mind.
She gently stroked her stomach with her hand for a moment. She mumbled something as she looked at her stomach in the mirror.
"I am sorry, my baby. I am really sorry."
She turned around and opened the door. She exited the washroom and made her way out of the corridor. In front of her, the corridor was empty. She was unsure whether she should return to the living room or not. In the end, she made the decision to return to her room and thought to tell others that she was feeling unwell. But suddenly, a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the left side. She let out a gasp of shock and made an attempt to look at the person who was holding her hand.
Before she could tum her head, her back was already pressed against a pillar.
Her eyes were filled with more shock as she looked at the man who was standing in front of her. She did not expect him to come there and catch her.
The man's eyes glowed with rage as he glared at her with a hostile expression.
Her lips quivered as she stuttered.
"J-Jason!!"
